How do you measure the happiness of a country? In 2016,the Happy Planet Index
(HPI) was created to look at 140 countries around the world to see where people
are living the longest and happiest lives with the least impact on the planet. The
HPI combines four factors:
• life expectancy (the average number of years a person is expected to live)
• overall wellbeing (people's satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10)
• environmental footprint (each person's impact on the planet)
inequality (a percentage showing how uneven life is for different people
within a country)
